About Alysa
Alysa Copenhaver is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) based in Indiana who helps people address stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and grief.
Background and approach
She draws on four years of clinical experience working with individuals, facilitating groups, and responding in crisis situations to support clients through life transitions and emotional challenges. Alysa emphasizes practical strategies that build confidence, motivation, and self-esteem while attending to issues such as body image, social anxiety, and feelings of isolation.
Her approach centers on collaboration and problem solving, treating each person as the expert on their own life while offering tools and structure to move forward. Alysa integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques and Motivational Interviewing to help clients identify unhelpful patterns, set achievable goals, and increase resilience.
She encourages people to recognize existing strengths and to take courageous steps toward a more fulfilling life, offering steady support as they work through forgiveness, guilt, communication problems, and questions of life purpose.
Practical therapeutic approaches for online care
Many clients seek strategies that produce tangible change, and Alysa commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify and shift unhelpful thought and behavior patterns. CBT involves noticing how thoughts influence feelings and actions, and then practicing alternative responses to reduce anxiety, improve mood, and address issues like social anxiety or negative body image.She also applies Motivational Interviewing to help clients explore their own reasons for change and strengthen motivation. This approach uses reflective conversation and goal-focused questioning to clarify values and encourage steps toward goals such as improved relationships, greater self-esteem, or lifestyle changes.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process; Alysa works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds. She emphasizes partnership and supports clients in trying practical techniques while refining what works best.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels with communication. These formats can make it easier to access consistent support from a licensed professional, allowing sessions to fit into daily life while maintaining momentum toward therapeutic goals.
